Marty Meierotto

One hundred miles south of the Arctic Circle in the harsh Alaskan wilderness, trapper Marty Meierotto spends the sub-zero winters living in a primitive one-room cabin. During the brief daylight hours, he sets his trapline and must catch everything from mink to lynx in order to support his family back home. He eats only what he kills and survives in a place where few men have dared to make their home.
